On chirpy, hazy mornings,
When the sun peeps through the curtains,
And the birds are at their gossip,
I awake from dreaming
Dreams of loving you.
*
Your ghost lingers with me.
I feel your milky hands on my face,
Your waterfall of hair,
Tickling my chest,
Your winy mouth,
Spilling on my cheek.
We make love like worms,
And like butterflies,
And then like turtles.
*
You close your eyes.
You are ashamed.
Or maybe you pretend I am someone else…
Your teardrops fill my navel.
Your swimming eyes float were?
Toward sorrow?
Or hatred?
Or anger?
Or maybe gratitude
That in this early hour
I despoil your solitude,
And debase your melancholy,
And fill your emptiness with warmth.
*
When sunlight floods the room
Your ghost departs.
The weeping hour comes then for me.
We are not dying together,
On the same bed,
Like in my dream;
We are dying alone,
Worlds apart,
I in my creaky cot
And you on your double bed,
Half of which is empty.
I hug my pillow and kiss it
Imagining it’s you.

I really liked the detail that went into writing this. The character that you’ve drawn is so believable, so true, so pure.
Flawless as usual. Your words are an art..

Your work is surreal in softness..detailed, yet you
leave some for the imagination. There is a sweet
innocence here, a longing moment that lives
forever in the creative mind…..
Two wee dragon thumbs up!

This ghost of which you speak, is she real? Does she love you? For if your answers to those questions are affirmative, what matters? You are a lucky man, a man who has in his possession another’s heart. Per usual, this masterpiece of written word was created with a golden tongue. I admire your art.
This is incredibly beautiful…

Whoowee, if that ain’t fine!
I know you rank us bearded four-eyed gents pretty low on the comment totem pole, so I’m usually outta here faster’n a hound dog backed into a porcupine, but it feels all wrong and stuff not to chime in once in a while and say dadgum this here’s good!
I like this comment very much. Walt, you’re right on. My thoughts exactly!
Amazing! Keep it up 🙂
After reading this piece of ghosts and dreams and of love and then your profile – you are robbing the world of a beautiful soul in the daylight! I enjoyed it very much!
